Shizhong's Northern Expedition
Whether it is war or peace, when will the decisive battle be fought, how to seek peace, how to deal with the captured personnel such as the Second Emperor Huiqin... These major events need to be discussed in the long run, and it is rare that at this time, the foreign enemy retreats and the internal bandits are suppressed, and it is time to talk about it.
Of course, there is still a limit to the scope of people participating in the discussions, mainly existing and former ruling officials. This discussion costs a lot of office paper, but the actual effectiveness is almost non-existent. Because each discussant is very true to himself, what he says is nothing more than what he has been emphasizing before.
Li Gang is still Li Gang, Qin Hui is still Qin Hui.
What is really colorful is another thing. Half a year ago, in June, Zhao Gou built a school called Zishantang for his adopted son, who had changed his name to Zhao Yin, and the 9-year-old child wanted to go to school and learn to be a qualified crown prince.
Zhao Ying went to school, which made many people happy, including Yue Fei. Not long after Zhao Ying went to school, by chance, Yue Fei had personally met the future filial piety. Listening to his words and looking at his appearance, Yue Fei was greatly admired. It was determined that this heroic young man would be able to be the king of any country in the future, so he praised it in front of Song Gaozong and Zhao Gou. Two years later, he even wrote to Zhao Gou to ask for the reserve... Of course, Yue Fei will never understand that 'welcoming the two saints' and 'establishing a reserve' are the two biggest heart problems in Zhao Gou's life. He's all guilty! finally made him change from the Great Wall on which he relied for his life to the ill-intentioned Wu Yu in Zhao Gou's heart, and finally caused the biggest tragedy in Chinese history...
On November 24, Zhao Sheng returned from an envoy to the Kingdom of Jin. After listening to his report, Zhao Gou burst into tears, "The Emperor Taishang is in the bitter cold land of Mobei, and his residence, clothes, and diet are all kinds of things. I am deeply saddened by the fact that the son of man cannot save his father and brother. Now I live in the palace room and between a drink and a meal, thinking of my father and brother, the pain goes to the bone marrow"
The Southern Song Dynasty discussed the whole country, but there was one person who didn't care too much: Zhang Jun!
What are these things? The strong must defeat the enemy to ensure safety, that is the right way! For this. Zhang Jun designed a battle plan that was even more magnificent than the decisive battle of Fuping, and in order to ensure the implementation of the plan, he first carried out a major reorganization of the Southern Song Dynasty army.
On December 2, the reorganization was officially completed. The national army was first divided into three armies and marching guards.
The Sanya Army is the Praetorian Guard, which is regarded as the emperor's private soldiers, specifically the palace front division led by Yang Yizhong, the guard horse army division led by Xie Qian, and the guard infantry division led by Yan Yan. The front division of the palace was adapted from the original Shenwu Chinese Army, and was incorporated into the 2nd Army of Xuanfeng and Saint Protector, so the strength is very strong. There are only more than 1,000 people in the Jie Submarine Department, and the Yan Gradually Department is even more of a rabble, and the two guard divisions are basically useless.
The predecessor of the Xingying Guardian Army was the Shenwu Army, because Gao Huan's honorific title was Emperor Shenwu of the Northern Qi Dynasty. Therefore, the five generals of the Shenwu Army were renamed the Xingying Guard, which was led by the five generals respectively, along the Yangtze River, from upstream to downstream: Wu Jue, Wang Yan, Yue Fei, Liu Guangshi, Zhang Jun, Han Shizhong... The five major battalion guards are lined up!
According to the number of troops, it is: Zhang Jun's Zhonghu Army, the old department of Xinde Mansion and the former loyal generals, Zhang Yong, Li Heng, and Yan Gao are all integrated; Han Shizhong's former protectors, the old departments of Qingyuan Mansion and Zhang Yu, Cao Cheng, Ma You, Li Hong, Ju Shigu, Wang Xie, and Cui Zeng were all integrated; Liu Guangshi's left guard, his old department of Yan Road and the departments of Wang De, Li Qiong, and Jin Sai were all incorporated; Wu Jue's right guard, the old department of Jingyuan Road and the departments of Qin, Feng Sanshu, Liu Ziyu, and Guan Shigu were all incorporated; Yue Fei's rear guard, his old Hebei department and Han Jing, Wu Xi, Li Shan, Zhao Chengyuan, and Ren Shi'an's departments were all integrated; Wang Yan's former escort and deputy army. The old department of its eight-character army and the scattered soldiers of Jin and Fang were all incorporated.
These seem to be just different names, and they don't matter. If you look at it from another angle, you can feel Zhang Jun's domineering! When a new official takes office, he needs to greet and roll call you, and his method is to change your name. You have to listen to me in the future!
8th. Zhang Jun then promoted Liu Ziyu, a subordinate of Xuanfu Sichuan and Shaanxi, to the governor of Ezhou and in charge of the pacification department of Jinghu North Road, and Liu Qi to the deputy head of Ma Bujun on Jiangnan East Road.
On the 12th, Wu Xi was appointed as the commander of the front army of the palace and the commander of the military of the Governor's Office.
At the end of the month, Liu Ziyu and Xiong Yanshi were ordered by Zhang Jun to go to Sichuan and Shaanxi to appease them. The main thing is to adjust the contradiction between Wu Jue, the deputy envoy of Xuanfu, and Zhao Kai, the envoy of the capital.
Month. The Mongols, who are invincible in the world in the future, stepped onto the stage of history and opened a century-old feud between them and the Dajin Kingdom! However, before Genghis Khan, a generation of Tianjiao, unified the Mongolian tribes, although the Mongols had the most powerful combat effectiveness in the era of human cold weapons. But the scattered Mongol tribes still could not resist the iron cavalry of the Jurchens. Jin Xizong sent Wanyan Zongpan to quell this Mongol rebellion.
On January 5, the 6th year of Shaoxing (1136), Liang Qing, a militia member of the Zhongyi Society of Taihang Mountain, was forced by the Jin soldiers to cross the river to join Xiangyang Yue Fei. Zhao Gou issued an edict "As long as you come, you will be given an official position, and those who come can be encouraged." It is difficult to exchange information between the two countries. Only with such people can we know the enemy's situation."
On the 15th, Zhao Ding, the prime minister and supervisor of the history of the country, completed the 200 volumes of the "Records of the Rebuilding of the Divine Sect". This is the third "Record of the Divine Sect" of the Great Song Dynasty.
On the 18th, Zhang Jun went to Jingxiang again to arrange the Northern Expedition.
On February 10, Yue Fei played a concert and requested that Xiangyangfu Road be renamed Jingnan South Road. In addition to the 6 states of Xiangyang that he recovered by himself, the 2 states of Jun and Fang were also included (compared with the Jingnan Road in the original Northern Song Dynasty, there was only one less Jinzhou. Jinzhou is now Wang Yan's base) The imperial court agreed.
Zhang Jun summoned the major generals and arranged the tasks of the Northern Expedition: Huaidong Xuanfu made Han Shizhong cross the Huai River from Chuzhou, where he was stationed, and attack the Huaiyang Army on the East Jingdong Road; Huaixi Xuanfu made Liu Guangshi cross the Yangtze River from Taipingzhou, and Luzhou and Jiangdong Xuanfu stationed on Huainan West Road made Zhang Jun cross the Yangtze River from Jiankang Mansion, and stationed Xuyi Army on Huainan East Road to jointly protect Han Shizhong's rear; Yang Yizhong of the Third Yajun Army was transferred as a backup. Wu Jue and Wang Yan were outside the plan and did not participate in the operation. Jingxi recruited Yue Fei to garrison Xiangyang and advance into the Central Plains, fight as far as he can, and attack without restrictions!
On the 13th, Zhao Gouyu's personal book "Tang Book. Pei Du Biography gave Zhang Jun and ordered Zhang Jun to return to Lin'an to report.
On the 16th, the first wave of the Southern Song Dynasty's Third Northern Expedition was launched by Han Shizhong! His subordinate commander Yue Chao led 200 people to set off first, and on the way encountered about 1,000 cavalry puppet Qi troops from the Jiashe people of Pizhou. Yue Chao rushed bravely to kill, four in and four out, killing and defeating the pseudo-Qi army. Han Shizhong then crossed the river and attacked the Huaiyang army. Later, it was found that Liu Yu still had two problems, such as espionage. The puppet Qi spy work at home, and before Han Shizhong's attack, a huge army had been assembled in the Huaiyang military city. Just waiting for the Jiangdong Tigers to throw themselves into the net.
On the 17th, Han Shizhong turned west in Suqian County, Huaiyang Army, came to the north of Fuli in Suzhou, Huainan East Road, and successfully transferred the defenders out. After that, he returned to the horse and shot the target Huaiyang Army.
After marching for more than 30 miles, he encountered a group of Jin soldiers, and they surrounded Han Shizhong. Han Shizhong was ambushed, but he was "surrounded by thieves, jumped hard, broke out, and left no arrows behind" did not even leave an arrow for the Jurchens, and in the process of breaking through. Hu Yantong, a general in his army, grabbed the neck of a golden general, carried the horse, and only after coming out did he know that this person's name was Yahejin Jin. As mentioned earlier, Xiao Jin is equivalent to the Tai Lieutenant of the Song Army, a not small official!
On the 18th, Han Shizhong's army came to the Huaiyang military city as originally planned and began the siege.
On the 20th, Yang Yizhong was ordered to lead 8 teams and more than 10,000 people rushed to the front line. Prepare to support Han Shizhong. On the 23rd, the boss of the guard Ma Junsi temporarily took over the post of the boss of the front division of the palace, and Liu Qi temporarily served as the commander of the guards.
At this time, Han Shizhong had been attacking under the Huaiyang Military City for 6 days, and the matter was very serious!
Liu Yu had already discovered Han Shizhong's movements before. The army was transferred in advance, but it was countered by Han Shizhong at this time, and 6 days was enough time to make a new arrangement, and Yan Zongbi and Liu Yu's nephew Liu Yi joined forces to kill. Han Shizhong became a lone army in Jiangbei. Surrounded by the combined forces of Jin and Puppet Qi, he urgently needs the support of friendly forces in Jiangnan at this time!
According to the geographical distance and the number of troops, Zhang Jun has an unshirkable responsibility! But after Han Shizhong's letter of help arrived. General Zhang's first reaction was, "Old Han, aren't you a moth and want to take the opportunity to annex me, right?" Over there, the fourth prince of Dajin Kingdom is leading the troops, the scale of the decisive battle must be very large, you take the sheep and integrate the army I sent, who am I looking for when the time comes? No way! I have another military situation on my side, and no one can adjust it."
Han Shizhong is really isolated in Jiangbei! Liu Yu was overjoyed and ordered to take the opportunity to get rid of this thorn in his eye!
So Han Shizhong was surrounded by the regiment again, and at the critical moment, Han Shizhong sent the junior colonel Hao Yanxiong to tell the enemy that "the opposite Jinyi horse is in formation, and Han Xianggong is also" Han Shizhong himself exposed himself. The Jin and Pseudo-Qi coalition forces swarmed over... The unlucky child who doesn't have a long memory, how can he forget where Han Shizhong is?
Han Shizhong rushed head-on, cut down a piece, and the rest ran away. Lao Han took the whole army and tens of thousands of Huaiyang people to safely cross the river and return to the station...
Han Shizhong's Northern Expedition came to an end, and the result was that he did not attack the hinterland of the Puppet Qi, and was once again blocked by the combined forces of Jin and Puppet Qi. At this time, it was February and March, and it was not until July and August that Yue Fei sent troops to the Northern Expedition. Many history books say that this time Yue Fei abolished his public office for personal reasons, and delayed the Northern Expedition for his mother's funeral. If he and Han Shizhong send troops at the same time and advance in two directions, how will the enemy respond? It's bound to do more with less! In fact, there is no need for this, what does it mean to have one person in the whole country? It's that he alone is enough to win a qiē, and he doesn't need any cooperation at all! Yue Fei went on the expedition, and he didn't need friendly troops at all!
There were many things before Yue Fei set out on the expedition, and there were some objective reasons for delaying it until July and August.
On March 2, Han Shizhong's titles were changed to Shaobao, Jingdong, Huaidong Xuanfu Disposal Envoy, and Temperance Zhenjiang Mansion, Wuning, and Anhua Shuangjie Envoy. Yue Fei's title became that of the inspector of the school, the deputy envoy of Xuanfu in Hubei and Jingxi, the envoy of Wusheng and the double section of Dingguo. Zhang Jun's official evaluation of Han Shizhong is "loyal and brave", and Yue Fei's definition is "Shen Fei" - Shen, immobile as a mountain, secretive as deep, unpredictable, and uncertain. Eagles, fierce birds of prey such as eagles, eagles, falcons, and the like. It is used to describe people, and it has the meaning of fierce to brutal and unruly.
On the 15th, Jin Xizong asked Taishi Wanyan Zongpan, Taifu Wanyan Zonggan, and Taibao Wanyan Zonghan to lead the three provincial affairs, and became the highest official position in the new official system of the Jin State: the third division.
Because Zhang Jun refused Zhang Jun's order to let him support Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun was furious and reported it to the imperial court. On the one hand, Prime Minister Zhao Ding persuaded Zhao Gou to give absolute power to Zhang Jun, the commander-in-chief of the front, and on the other hand, he gave Zhang Jun a support: "You can order Yang Yizhong to lead the front army of the palace to support Han Shizhong, and then order Zhang Jun to send troops to the guard." With the order of the emperor's personal command, how dare Zhang Jun disobey "So on the 20th, Zhang Jun got an edict that "Zhang Jun's subordinate commanders, Zhao Mi, and Jushi Gu, are temporarily controlled by Yang Yizhong"
On April 7, Wang Wei, the general of the puppet Qi, captured Tangzhou, which had been recovered by Yue Fei, and Hu Juchen, Zhang Congzhi and others were killed in battle.
On the 8th, Zhao Gou urgently issued an edict: "Yue Fei, you are sad to know that your mother is dead." But these are extraordinary times. The war is imminent, and I hope to put the country first" Zhang Jun also deliberately found Yue Fei and said to him, "This prince is also Su Zhi"
After the death of his mother-in-law Yao, who had tattooed four words on his back, "Loyal to the country", Yue Fei did not enter the water slurry and tears did not dry for 3 days. In addition to the sadness of his mood, he also hurt his eyesight. Soon after, he fell ill with his eyes...
Yue Fei once decided to go to Lushan to keep filial piety for his mother, but he was not happy, did not work, did not look at things for three years, and his heart was mourned if he died, otherwise it was not enough to repay his mother's kindness! But after all, he had to go down the mountain to battle!
On the 17th, due to the victory of the Huaiyang Army, 18 people including Hu Yantong of Han Shizhong's department were rewarded. On the 27th, Han Shizhong gave the name of the hero of Wuyiyun, and added Henghai on the basis of the original Wuning and Anhua, and one person was also the envoy of three sections.
This month, the pseudo-Qi Liu Yu built Liu Longcheng and entered the land of Huaixi. was defeated by Liu Guangshi's ministry Wang Shisheng. On May 22, Liu Guangshi added Baojing on the basis of the original Ningwu and Ningguo, and he was also the envoy of the three sections. On the 24th, Zhang Jun added Chongxin and Fengning on the basis of the original Dingjiang and Zhaoqing, and one person was also the envoy of the four sections. Under the order of Zhang Jun, he went north to Xuyi Town on the south bank of the Huai River to build a city and defend it. On the occasion of the construction of the city, Liu Yu sent 300 soldiers to Sizhou, on the north bank of the Huai River, to watch Zhang Jun's progress in building the city. As a result, the city was built in the middle of summer at the end of the fifth month of the lunar calendar, and the people worked very hard. And this city has no water and no food, and it is extremely difficult to hold it...
In mid-June, Zhang Jun wrote "The southeast shape shì, Mo rebuild Kang, is really the foundation of ZTE." Lin'an is in a remote corner, which is really insignificant. Please take advantage of the Jiankang Mansion in the autumn and winter, and supervise the Northern Expedition of the Three Armies" Zhao Gou agreed, and sent eunuchs to Huainan to comfort the former enemy Commander-in-Chief Zhang. Then, Zhang Jun ordered Liu Guangshi to go north to Luzhou and Yang Yi to stay in Sizhou, echoing Han Shizhong in Chuzhou and Zhang Junding in Xuyi...
In July, Liu Guangshi captured Shouchun Mansion on Huainan West Road.
Wang Yan, the former commander of the deputy army and the founder of the Bazi Army, rapidly deteriorated in health, and the Song Dynasty prepared to let him retire with honor. His army was handed over to Yue Fei nearby, and his jurisdiction happened to be right next to it, so everything came naturally... (To be continued......)
